from Native American Lakota tradition.

D. Gary Young is the creator of the Raindrop technique, an approach that combines physiological principles with powerful Native American traditions that emphasize

accessing energy for wellness. 1The legend states that when they arrived tribal members reached upward into the night

sky while deeply inhaling the healing power from the

dancing lights. This beautiful tradition is the inspiration for Young Living’s Raindrop Technique.

Young Living's

proprietary RaindropTechnique® combines unique, targeted massage with pure, authentic essential oils for a deeply harmonizing, rejuvenating, and relaxing experience.

The technique, developed by Young Living Founder and CEO D. Gary Young, draws from his experience with Lakota wellness traditions and provides a revolutionary means of aligning the body and mind.

P E R F O R M I N G M A S S A G E

Because a license is required to perform massage in many states, please check with your state guidelines before

performing the Raindrop Technique® on individuals outside your family.

Step 1P R E P A R E

Create Relaxed SettingMake the setting for the Raindrop Technique® as relaxing as possible, with a comfortable temperature and an environment quiet and free from distractions. Set up a massage table and cover it with a sheet.

 

Set Up Essential OilsOn a side table, set up the essential oils from the Raindrop Technique essential oil collection within easy reach of the massage table. Set up the oils in the following order:

Valor® Oregano Thyme Basil Cypress Wintergreen Marjoram Aroma Siez™ Peppermint

 

Prepare RecipientGive the recipient privacy as you ask him or her to remove

shoes and socks and to disrobe to the waist. Provide a gown or drape to the recipient, and have him or her lay

face-up on the massage table. Apply White Angelica™ to your shoulders and enter the room with a positive mindset.

(White Angelica™ is a calming and soothing blend that encourages feelings of protection and security. Key ingredients

are bergamot and geranium. (Not included in Raindrop kit.))

Step 2B A L A N C E B O D Y

E N E R G YApply Valor®

With the recipient lying face-up, apply 3–6 drops of Valor® to the recipient’s bare feet.

 

Place Palms on SolesPlace the palm of your right hand on the sole of the recipient’s right foot, and place the palm of your left hand on the sole of the left foot.

 

Hold PositionHold this position for at least five minutes.

Step 3V I T A F L E X

Prepare Oil in Left PalmBegin with Oregano essential oil. Place 2–3 drops onto your left palm, and then circle the fingertips of your right hand around your left palm three times clockwise.

 

Employ Vita Flex

Apply the essential oil with the Vita Flex technique. Use the right hand on the recipient’s right foot and cup the hand so that the fingertips rest on the Vita Flex points at the heel while the thumb rests on the top of the foot. Cup the heel with the left hand for additional support. Roll the fingertips of the right hand forward so the nail flattens against the bottom of the recipient’s foot. Roll the fingertips back to the original position with the pads of the fingertips on thet bottom of the foot. Repeat the finger motion along the entire length of spinal Vita Flex points and off of the big toe. Repeat two additional times on the right foot.

 

Prepare Oil in Right PalmPlace 2–3 drops of Oregano essential oil onto your right palm and circle the fingertips of your left hand around the right palm three times clockwise. Apply the essential oil with the Vita Flex technique described above three times on the left foot. Repeat the Vita Flex technique with Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, and Peppermint, in that order.

Step 4S P I N A L A P P L I C A T I O N O F E S S E N T I A L O I L S

Feathering SequenceAsk the recipient to turn over, face down, with his or her back exposed. Keep the recipient covered from the hips down with a clean sheet. Hold the bottle of Oregano six inches above the recipient and apply 2–4 drops of oil to the spine. Horizontally divide the back into three equal sections. To begin the feathering sequence, use your

fingernails to very gently brush up the length of the spine in the three sections, alternating hands as you move, and

covering each section three times. Repeat with 12-inch feathering strokes, and then a full-length feathering stroke

along the entire length of the spine. 

Fanning SequenceFan each horizontal section of the back three times by gently dragging the fingernails from the spine up and off the sides of the back. Conclude the fanning sequence by gently brushing the fingernails up from the base of the back, along the entire length of the spine, and up and off the shoulders.

A F E W I M P O R T A N T N O T E S

Everyone will experience the Raindrop Technique® differently, depending on his or her body. Recipients may

experience fatigue, increased energy, emotional release, or other short-term effects. Be sure to always provide a safe

and supportive space for every experience. Be aware that as a facilitator, you should rely on White Angelica to establish

your own harmony prior to the Raindrop Technique.

Remember to keep the recipient modest at all times in order to maintain trust and respect.

Keep fingernails clean and well trimmed.

Keep a bottle of V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex nearby to dilute essential oils if they begin to irritate the skin. If, for any reason, essential oils contact the eyes, use V-6 oil to

flush, not water.

Offer the recipient plenty of water at the end to help flush toxins.
